The new piece of equipment is finally in and assembled.

We added a lay pull down machine to the gym! Still looking for the best place to keep it but it’s ready to use!

I have long thought that some meets, even local meets should have much larger payouts than the do. So, we are changing that.

You think you can bring home the bacon? Sign up link in bio.

We will be announcing the 2nd place prize later this week courtesy of

Let’s get into another training principal. CAT training.

What is it?
-CAT training is the idea, popularized by the great Fred Hatfield AKA Dr. Squat, that a lifter should execute the concentric (up) portion of the lift as fast as possible.

How to apply it?
- The simplest way to incorporate it into your lifts is to just always move the bar through the concentric phase as fast as possible. Use it on every warm up set. Then every rep you do is “speed” work.

What are the benefits?
- It can help maximize your gains by increasing Force output (Force=mass x acceleration). The faster we move any weight the more force we are outputting even with lighter loads.

In short don’t be lazy. Move the bar with intention and move it fast.

Open Gym Saturdays are back! Come lift with us. This is also a great opportunity for any who has a meet coming up to come lift with the same bars/racks/plates you will be using in competition.
